This great movement of people has significant positive and negative consequences on nature, societies, cultures and economies. Desired worldwide for its economic benefits, tourism is anticipated to double during the next 20 years, and the multiple consequences of such rapid growth,,call for a preventative approach

Ab initio calculations including relativistic and correlation corrections were performed to obtain energy spectra and lifetimes for all states of first five configurations of Cl X.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kvinnor mot krig. Aktioner och nätverk för fred 1914-1940. Syftet med avhandlingen är att undersöka varför och på vilket sätt kvinnor skapade fredsaktioner under första världskriget och mellankrigstiden. Jag har studerat hur kvinnor mobiliserades, hur aktionerna genomfördes, vilket motstånd som väcktes och vad som hände efteråt.

Motivated by a desire to understand and optimize combustion in spark-ignition (SI) engines, laser techniques have been developed for measurement of fuel and residual gas, respectively, in the precombustion mixture of an operating SI engine. The primary objective was to obtain two-dimensional, quantitative data in the vicinity of the spark gap at the time of ignition. A laser-induced fluorescence

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate outcomes of older people's use of powered wheelchairs and risk factors for negative outcomes. Design: The study was a cross-sectional interview-study including 111 powered wheelchair users over 65 years of age. Results: All participants used their powered wheelchair in the summer; nearly all users regarded it as important and found that it gave

A search for squarks in R-parity violating supersymmetry is performed in e(+/-)p collisions at HERA using the H1 detector. The data were taken at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 64.3 pb(-1) for e (+) p collisions and 13.5 pb(-1) for e(-)p collisions. The resonant production of squarks via a Yukawa coupling lambda' is considered, taking into account

The purpose of this essay was to describe and compare two different investigation methods of foster homes and if there is any connection between the investigation method and a breakdown. The two methods we have been examined are the Kälvestens-method and the PRIDE-method. The main questions have been: · How common is breakdowns in foster homes, national and in respective municipality? · How the Kä

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utveckla kunskapen om produktljud i relation till konsument- och varumärkesidentitet. Övergripande metod är kvalitativ och hermeneutisk. Studien har utförts med hjälp av en fallstudie med en djupintervju och några semistrukturerade intervjuer. Det teoretiska ramverket utgår från rådande varumärkesteori: varumärkesprismat, kommunikationsmodellen, operativa ljud, semiot

Economic evaluations are used in the health care sector to help decision makers allocate resources. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cost effectiveness of a new diagnostic algorithm of deep vein thrombosis. Patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis are common at emergency departments, although few actually have the disease. The new diagnostic algorithm combines a pre-test probabil

Price and output stabilities determine the success of monetary policy in either economy. This paper briefly examines the monetary policy strategies of three developed countries (USA, UK, Sweden) and three developing countries (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan). It is found that the developed countries follow some rule-based monetary policy whereas the developing countries with ill-organised monetary sy

This thesis describes an energy mapping of the factory of Trioplast Landskrona AB och Trioplanex International AB and suggestions on how to make it more energy efficient. The purpose is to lower the company's energy utilization and costs. This is done by doing the energy mapping through ocular surveys, interviews, studies of literature and gathering of information from the staff of the factory

The paper researches the viable options for Hamas as a case study in the development of a peace paradigm through answering the question of ‘What should Hamas do, while under siege, to act responsibly in favor of the interests of its constituency?’ By comparing the logics of social constructivist and realist theories as methods of analysis in addressing the formulation, operationalization and socia

Reumatoid artrit, RA orsakade tidigare omfattande aktivitetsproblem för den drabbade personen men idag finns läkemedel som i högre grad än tidigare kan påverka sjukdomsförloppet i gynnsam riktning. För att utreda vilka dagliga aktiviteter en person upplever som svåra används bedömningsinstrument som exempelvis Evaluation of Daily Activity Questionnaire, EDAQ. Syftet med denna studie var att identi

Uppsatsen utgår ifrån en utvärdering av traineprogrammet i Skåne Nordväst 07/08. Traineeprogrammet startade som ett projekt för att rekrytera in driftiga, nyutexaminerade ungdomar till att fylla de glapp på specialist och ledarskapspositioner som väntas uppstå vid 40-talisternas pensionsavgångar. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utvärdera traineernas lärande och utveckling samt diskutera det empiriska
